On the first day of the Lunar New Year, my mother-in-law took the female family members to the Grand Guanyin Temple to pray for blessings.
Third sister-in-law and third brother will not come back until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
So the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and Li Ke, the three daughters-in-law, went with the mother-in-law.
Daguanyin Temple is located in the western suburbs of the county, a bit far from home.
Chen Xingyi borrowed a tricycle and took them with him.
"Oh, I'm going to go on my first trip. Last year, I couldn't leave the house no matter how loud I shouted. It's different now that I have a wife." The sister-in-law started to get angry as soon as she got in the car.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't want to take the car, you can walk." Li Ke could not tolerate others' Yin Yang and Chen Xingyi.
"What, is it your turn to have the final say in this family now?" Zhao Hongxia didn't take Li Ke seriously at all.
"Sister-in-law, my wife has always had the final say in our family. If you feel uncomfortable riding in the car, just walk."
Zhao Hongxia did not expect that Chen Xingyi would support Li Ke and choke her.
After all, she was also Chen Xingyi's sister-in-law, so she couldn't save any face for her, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.
"That's right, sister-in-law, why don't you go down and walk." Jiang Meifeng naturally spoke to Li Ke.
"Mom, look at them, they are ganging up to bully me, you have to make the decision for me." Zhao Hongxia said aggrievedly, shaking her mother-in-law's arm.
Li Fang took her arm out of Zhao Hongxia's hand and said, "Sit tight and don't make trouble for me on the first day of the new year."
Li Fang's face was pale, showing no emotion or anger, but she obviously didn't want to speak to her.
Zhao Hongxia was so angry that she stopped talking, fearing that she would be kicked out.
The Grand Guanyin Temple is so far away, so she doesn't want to walk there.
There were so many people coming to pray on New Year's Day that the water was blocked all the way.
Chen Xingyi had better park the car farther away, and then everyone walked over together.
My mother-in-law prepared all the sacrificial items in advance.
There is meat, steamed buns, fruits, incense candles, and change.
There were many people along the way, and Chen Xingyi protected Li Ke from being hit by others.
There are people selling everything around, including flowers and fruits, gifts for priests, and various snacks.
There were shouts and shouts one after another, making it very lively.
When Li Ke came to the temple for the first time, he felt that everything was strange.
Look here and there.
When Chen Xing saw her looking around, he thought she wanted to eat.
He secretly leaned over and whispered to her, "What do you like? I'll buy it."
Li Ke shook his head.
The group of people walked to the temple together.
There are monks chanting sutras in the temple, there are incense candles and merit boxes everywhere, and the smell of incense is everywhere.
Li Ke didn't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as he came in, he felt particularly calm, as if his soul had been cleansed.
In the last century, we were the successors of socialism and never engaged in feudal superstition.
There are only a few gods, and there are so many mortals, and everyone has something to ask for, so how can the gods be so busy?
It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and it is better to ask for God.
But now, Li Ke has a new idea. It's good to say goodbye. It can give me some psychological sustenance.
When you really want to make a wish, you will understand more clearly what you really want.
There is a wishing tree in the yard, which is covered with red cards tied with red strings, with wishes written on them.
Li Ke picked up a few at random and looked at them. Most of them were for promotion, fortune, study, and marriage.
What's interesting is that most of the people looking for marriage are girls.
How can I successfully marry so-and-so at the end of the year?
Be with someone for the rest of your life.
So-and-so will always love me.
Etc., etc., it’s basically girls who are asking for it.
Men are basically looking for promotion, wealth and academic success.
What to become mayor soon.
This year I was admitted to a key university in the college entrance examination.
The wealth is rolling in, money is coming into my pocket, and all the boys are begging for me.
Do you need to burn incense and worship Buddha to be kind to a man?
Besides, he can be nice to you today and bad to you tomorrow, or he can be nice to others. Is there any use in begging for this?
Isn’t there a saying that says, when you look for a man for anything, don’t ask him to treat you well.
You can imagine that he is handsome, that he has a high IQ and is good at work, that he has a good personality and a stable temper, or even that he is rich and has a good family background.
At least these things are very stable and will not change without major accidents.
But being nice to you changes too easily, and he can take it back easily.
Women, never fall in love.
Of course, there are also people who want their families to be healthy and safe. This is what both men and women want, and there is no gender difference.
When Chen Xing saw Li Ke looking there for a long time, he thought she also wanted to make a wish.
So I secretly bought two wishing cards and a black oil pen and handed them to her.
Li Kezheng was fascinated by seeing other people's wishes, and handed over a wishing card in front of him.
"Ah, why did you think of buying this? I have nothing to ask for."
"I bought everything, just write whatever you want."
"Okay." Li Ke reluctantly took the wishing card.
Write something? Li Ke is a little worried.
Seek money. Now the clothing store is on the right track, with considerable daily turnover. As long as it is managed well, a branch will be around the corner. Li Ke is already very satisfied.
She should study hard. She has now reviewed her high school knowledge. Except for mathematics, there are still some difficult problems that she has not yet solved, and she can review other subjects very well.
Especially English, don’t be too smooth. The content of high school English textbooks in the 1990s was simply too simple.
There is no need to worry about difficult mathematics with Chen Xingyi.
Besides, when it comes to study, it’s better to pray to God than to Chen Xingyi.
As for Chen Xingyi, Li Ke is very satisfied with the way the two of them get along now. She is not greedy and does not want to want more.
Li Ke really didn't know what to ask for, and Li Ke was really troubled.
Chen Xingyi had finished writing and hung it up, but Li Ke was still thinking hard.
"I haven't thought about it yet. What are your wishes? How are you planning to embarrass God?" Chen Xingyi asked with a smile.
"I want you to care, what wish did you make?"
"If I don't tell you, it won't work if I tell you." Chen Xingyi said, then stretched out his hand to mess up the wishing cards a little more, mixing his own in them to make sure Li Ke couldn't find them.
"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Then don't peek at mine." Li Ke deliberately turned sideways to block the writing.
"Don't read it, look at how stingy you are. I'm going to go to the toilet. Just wait for me here after you finish writing."
Li Ke really couldn't think of anything to wish for.
Since the wishing card was bought by Chen Xingyi, let’s wish him all his wishes.
I wish Chen Xingyi all his wishes come true, and the signature is Li Ke.
After Li Ke finished writing, he blow-dried the wishing card to make sure that the writing on it would not dry out, and then tied the red string on it.
He also followed Chen Xingyi's example and messed up the wishing cards and hid them inside.
Speaking of Chen Xingyi, what exactly did he write?
Especially since he looked so mysterious just now, Li Ke was even more curious.
Li Ke recalled the location where he had just hung the wishing sign and began to look through it one by one.
My arms were numb, and I finally found Chen Xingyi’s wishing card.
